RESEARCH • Current: Investigation of paleotsunamis and sea level rise in Puget Sound, Cascadia and Seattle fault tsunami hazard to Puget Sound, Cascadia subduction zone dynamics. Studies employ numerical tsunami simulations, sedimentology, radiocarbon dating, and diatom paleoecology. • National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP)-funded study of Late Holocene deformation of the Little Salmon fault, Humboldt County, CA. Completed analysis of paleoenvironments using fossil diatoms. • Analysis of modern and fossil diatom paleoecology of the Copper River Delta, as applied to earthquake-induced land-level changes. • PG&E-funded paleoseismic investigations of northern California coast. Primarily studied tsunami deposits, but also investigated land-level changes in tidal marshes. These investigations included collecting, describing, and sampling cores; analyzing both modern and fossil diatoms; and preparing reports, publications, and figures. • NEHRP-funded study of earthquake-induced rapid subsidence in a strike-slip setting, Bolinas and Bodega Bays. Activities included collecting, logging, and sampling cores; analyzing modern and fossil diatoms. Preparation of reports, publications, and figures. GRANTS/AWARDS • 5/2015, Joseph A.
